Code sprint!

For the first time, DrupalCamp NH will include a code sprint on the second day, Sunday September 22nd. Hosted at the prestigious Grill 28 (full directions), a full day of contributing is planned, along with a fully catered brunch!

What is a "Code Sprint"?

In the Drupal community, a code sprint is an event where a (hopefully) large number of people gather together, usually in person, to work on various aspects of the Drupal project.

It is also worth noting that, despite its title, a code sprint is not just about code. Code sprints are also also about helping others, writing documentation, taking screenshots, changing single colors in single CSS files, learning what an issue queue is, clicking links that say "re-run tests", writing "this needs to be rerolled" in a comment, etc.
